. Advances in marine biology: volume 17. Coral fisheries. 102 L. HILLIS-COLINVAUX. Fig. 25. H. stuposa. Most of the lower half of this specimen was buried by shifting sand in 1—2-5 m of water, and holdfast filaments are present in the sand masses adhering to the segments. The basal holdfast is not massive as it is in some specimens ( Taylor, 1950), and the thallus branching is less compact. Specimen from Enewetak Atoll, Enjebi Islet, lagoon, 20 XII 75, Hillis-Colinvaux and Colinvaux. Scale bar is 2 cm long. (Photograph by The Ohio State University Department of Photo- graphy.)

Geographic distribution. Western Indian Ocean, western Pacific, north and south. This Rhipsalian Halimeda at times may resemble monile and certain forms of incrassata, but can usually be identified macroscopically by its short, rather thick-set appearance, the thickness of the segments averaging 2 mm. Also characteristic are the relative infrequence of deeply trilobed segments, and the presence of relatively short.
